I'm not really sure what you are asking for, but I might venture to suggest a few ideas:
1) Do you mean to say you want two plots: one with ylim around -10 and the other running from 0 to 1000? 2) Are you looking for a "break" in the y-axis? If so, plotrix may be able to help, but it's hardly worth it to save about 5 units on a scale that runs spans a range >1000. 3) Would you please send your data or a minimal example that's similar? I'm really not understanding what you want to plot -- if something runs from -10 to 1000 why do you not want all those numbers in your graph? This all seems to contradict your original post: "Is there a way to leave the segment there but let the graph axis start from the origin? In this way the segment will be out of the graph" which your latest email seems to suggest you were able to do.
